NEVER FORGET ping!
The greatest danger to the United States at this moment are those fools and knaves who would cripple both the national defense and efforts to conduct an effective foreign policy. Always must we recall that, in times of war, there are but two parties: traitors and patriots, and that we already know what side we are on.

We must never forget the real reason why Vietnam was lost: the machinations of domestic subversives who stabbed real Americans, and Americas allies in Indochina, in the back. It was because of them that the war was lost and those untold millions were consigned to murder and slavery under Communism. We must never forget because, unless we are very careful, they will work to make it happen once again.They're working at trying to make this happen again. They'd love to see the bloodshed that would result. The left only pretends to be humanitarian, but actually, they love brutality and mass murder. It's the only way they can feel good about themselves. Poor, weak, sick individuals.

"We must never forget the real reason why Vietnam was lost: the machinations of domestic subversives who stabbed real Americans, and Americas allies in Indochina, in the back." The author, with an excellent op/ed, has it almost right. However, IMHO, "the machinations of domestic subversives" were only the catalyst for our loss in Viet Nam. The real reason was that many more millions of Americans bought into the crap and stabbed those of us who served, faithfully, in the back.
It broke my heart then and I am prepared to have it broken again. My real fear is for the new American centurions and patriotic heroes in service to their country today.
It is up to us, who served an uncaring and oft undeserving nation once before, to make sure the men and women serving today are not subjugated to the same treatment when they come home this time.

There are two enemies right now: the enemy without and the enemy within. Americas external enemies are not defeated, but they are weakened and on the defensive. The greatest danger to the United States at this moment are those fools and knaves who would cripple both the national defense and efforts to conduct an effective foreign policy. Always must we recall that, in times of war, there are but two parties: traitors and patriots, and that we already know what side we are onBears repeating.

Great stuff! If you/I/we had any doubts, mine have been eradicated. From the moment of the 2000 Election, I had a feeling something was wrong.
The war is ideological, deep and intense. Shame of it is that few people know.

Vietnam comparisons by the lefties will be over by around Chrismas/beginning of '04. By then, the situation in Iraq will have changed too much. Truthfully, the only Vietnam similarity so far is that neither war was over inside of four months. Otherwise they're completely different, and by the end of this year I expect that'll be obvious to everyone but the blind and the stupid.

The Six (6) Beliefs of the International Left Elites
First, there is distrust in the concept of absolute and objective truth. Truth is viewed as contextual, situational, and conditional (Biggs and Powell, 2001).
Second, emphasis is placed on fragmentation rather than universalism, again pushing away from the general and encompassing toward the particular (Powell, 2001).
Third, local power is preferred over the centralized power of the nation state, and the decentralization, or the process of democratization of power, is a pervasive theme of postmodern narratives (Mestrovic,1994).
Fourth, reality is simulated but is otherwise not a very meaningful concept; reality conceived as a general and universal truth is profoundly doubted (Foucault, 1977).
Fifth, we are seeing the rise and consolidation of consumer culture that tends to put power in the hands of the consumers, but can also equally manipulate consumers through marketing ploys and interpolating discourses of consumer freedom by dictating costs in global market place (Biggs and Powell, 2001).
Finally, diversity and difference is emphasized and valued above commonality based on homogeneity (Powell, 2001). Postmodern analysis of culture is no longer a fringe perspective as it promotes strategies of individualism and diversity; and it is critical of strategies that devalue individuals because of any characteristic that control access to knowledge, and that assault identity (Biggs and Powell, 2001). It sees ethics as situational.
